A test facility for a plane jet
Abstract
The effect of solid phase on the entrainment characteristics of a two-dimensional air jet is studied. The derivation of the equation used to determine entrainment for a two-phase air jet is provided. The experimental model and procedures for an air jet containing sand particles of mean diameter 165 microns issued at a Reynold's number between 6,000 and 20,000 are described. The entrainment results are graphically presented as a function of the semiangle beta which varies from 9-21 deg; the entrainment varies as the angles change. It is concluded that the particles suppress mixing rates and the model is useful for Reynold's numbers beyond 10,000. The data obtained correlate well with previous experimental results.
